The S3 is one of Panasonic’s lower-end models, but should still be a decent budget option. The 14.1 megapixel sensor, 720p HD video, optical image stabilization, and 28mm wide-angle 4x zoom are run of the mill. However, it uses the same Venus Engi...

The Kodak EasyShare Sport C123 (we'll just call it the Sport) is the most basic of point-and-shoots -- and it can survive a dunk underwater. The Sport has an average 12 megapixel resolution, a tiny 2.4-inch LCD screen, a fixed lens that doesn&...

The S110 is a disappointingly modest upgrade to the very good S100 and it may not do enough to really differentiate itself from the rest of the pack. The camera still sports the same 12 megapixel sensor and 24-120mm f2.0-5.9 lens, but trades the G...

Canon&rsquo;s ELPH line has existed now for years with nary a hiccup in image or build quality. The lineup took a turn in 2011 with the advent of Canon&rsquo;s HS, or high sensitivity, system. These newer cameras boast CMOS sensors for improved lo...
